JEANNE EAGLES TO
APPEAR AT THE CATHAUM.
The most dramatic all-talking pic-
ture that has been produced to date
will be the attraction at the Cathaum
theatre, State College, on Monday
and Tuesday of next week, matinee
and evening. It is called “The Let-
ter,” in which Jeanne Eagles, famous
star of the legitimate stage, demon- |
strates that she has the best voice of
any woman star who has appeared in
talking pictures.
The vibrant star of the stage play
“Rain,” as a lady who loved neither
too wisely nor too well, gives a char-
acterization of a woman scorned that
will not soon be forgotten by those
who see this powerful dramatic thun-
derbolt. Written as a brilliant stage
play by W. Somerset Maugham, “The
Letter” will hold you as no previous
picture has done. The fatal letter---
it caused the death of the man she
loved! It cost her $10,000; It de-
; Stroyed her husband’s love and faith!
It nearly sent her to prison for life!
Why did she write that mad, reveal-
ing letter? Jeanne Eagles will show
you in the Cathaum.
ED NELSON LANDS
THE BIGGEST TROUT.
Fishing down in the lime kiln dam,
last Thrusday evening, Ed Nelson
caught the biggest trout of the sea-
son so far, a real speckled beauty
which measured 211; inches. it
took him half an hour to land it af- |
ter he had it hooked. Going back to
the same locality,‘ on Friday after-
noon, he caught two more nice ones.
one sixteen inches in length and the
other about a foot long.
Chief of police Harry Dukeman is
also making a record this year. In
addition to his nice catch on the open-
ing day of the season he ‘went up
Logan’s branch, on Friday, and land-
ed eighteen, ranging in size from 7 to
i 10 inches.
Eight trout ranging in size from
8% to 20% inches were brought
home by Rev. Homer C. Knox, on
Monday evening, and this is no “fish |
story.”
He caught them in Spring
, creek, down near Milesburg, and was
: stepping quite high when he return-
ed home with his basket of beauties.
TWO NEW YORK BOYS
CAUGHT IN A STOLEN CAR.
Albert French, aged 16, of Elmira,
N. Y., and Harold Wise, age 17, of
Cohocton, N. Y., are in the Centre
county jail charged with the theft of
a Chevrolet car in which they were
found asleep at Julian, Monday night
at 10 o'clock.
According to their story they first
took the car of one of their sisters
and drove from Elmira to Waverly.
There they ran out of gas and, hav-
ing no money, abandoned it. Then
they made their way to Lancaster !
where they stole the Chevrolet and
headed this way.
They were out of gas and as their
actions aroused the suspicions of peo-
ple about Julian the Sheriff was call-
ed. When he got there both boys
were asleep and about exhausted for
want of food. They had no money
and had had nothing to eat for two
days.
——1If the judges’ salary raiser bill,
which passed the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature without much opposition, is ap-
proved by Governor Fisher it will in-
crease the salary of the judge of Cen-
tre county from $7000 to $9000 a year.
As there is nothing in the State con-
stitution prohibiting the increase of
salaries of judges at any time it is
likely the bill will become effective at
once, if approved by the Governor.

STRICKER’S SERVICE STATION
BURNED AT BOALSBURG.
Boalsburg had a fire, early Sunday
morning, and while it looked vers
_ threatening for a little while the lo- :
cal firemen were able to confine it to
one building until the arrival of the
State College fire company which
aided materially in preventing the
flames from spreading, but they could
not prevent the total destruction of
R. C. Stricker’s service station and
all its contents, including one car be-
longing to a Mr. Cummings.
How the fire originated is not
known. When Mr. Stricker closed
the station late in the evening he
left it in the usual condition. The |
flames were discovered about one
o'clock on Sunday morning and had
already gained considerable headway
An alarm brought the local firemen
in short order and with their hose
they kept the fire down as much as
possible until the arrival of the State |
College firemen with their pumper.
The station was a reconstructed
old house, which stood on a lot by
itself and this helped materially to
keep the fire confined to the one
building. Mr. Stricker’s loss is es-
timated at from two to three thou-
sand dollars, on which he had some
insurance. He had been in business
only about a year.
HARRY REAM TRAPPED
| MONSTER HOOT OWL.
i On exhibition in J. O. Heverly’s
store, Bellefonte, is a magnificent
specimen of hoot owl, or to be cor-
rect, the great gray owl, the largest
member of the owl family. It was
caught, on Tuesday night, in a fox
trap put out by Harry Ream in the
woods on his farm near Jacksonville.
Though caught by the leg in the trap
{the big bird was apparently not in-
{ jured in the least.
! In size it is almost as big as a tur-
key and has round eyesasbigasa
quarter of a dollar. It's huge head
has the appearance of being set on
a pivot, as it swings from front to
back without a motion of its body.
It would be a splendid specimen for
some museum of live birds.
——The cooking school conducted
; this week
| Central Pennsylvania Gas company’s
offices, on the corner of the Diamond,
has been attracting a fair attendance
of Bellefonte women every afternoon.
The school, of course, is not so much
| to demonstrate Mrs. Pearl J. Eng-
land’s ability as a cook as it is to
show the general utility of the gas
ing unit. The very fact that so many
women are attending the demonstra-
stove they are open to persuasion. As
to the quality of the cooking display-
ed by Mrs. England it is such that
home, and this is not merely gas,
either.

| cake daily to some fortunate lady,
who visits our show rooms during
this week and next. Special bakings

——Water superintendent J. DO.
! Seibert sustained a nasty cut on the
head, Wednesday morning, but was
j really lucky that the injury was not
more serious. He and Frank Meter
were engaged in putting in a new
gate at the head of the race. Frank
was holding the gate and as Mr. Sei-
bert stooped over to examine it it
i slipped out of Meter’'s hands and

of the head. Going to a physician he
had the injury properly attended to

has been seriously ill in the Centre
County hospital for some weeks, was
removed to her home on north Spring |
street, on Tuesday afternoon. While |
her condition is only slightly improv-
ed she had a longing desire to be in
her own home and it was because
of this fact -that she was removed
from the hospital.
——Old =~ stoves wanted. If you
have an old coal, wood or oil stove
which you want to turn quickly, why
not trade it in to us for a brand new
modern gas range. Extra heavy al-
